I was having an issue on Mac OS X – this is probably because I installed it with homebrew a few months back and forgot about these instructions. $mongodb MongoDB shell version: 2.0.6 connecting to: test Sat Jun 16 09:11:43 exception: connect failed Error: couldn’t connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:84 I search for a solution but didn’t easily find one, so I ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling it, which then gave me the very valuable notes below about where config files and data paths are stored on OSX, and also let me know that I needed to start the service if I wanted to use it.
